SB 17-187

Senate Bill 17-187 allows non-residents to apply for occupational licenses related to marijuana workforce development or education programs in Colorado. This means that people who are participating in these specific training programs can get the necessary licenses even if they don't live in Colorado yet. The bill has been signed into law, so it is now active and being implemented by the state licensing authority.

Official Summary

Under current law, when an employee or manager of a retail business applies for an occupational license, the person must be a Colorado resident on the date of his or her application. The bill gives the state licensing authority the ability to create an exemption to the residency requirement for a person applying for an occupational license for participation in a marijuana-based workforce development or education program if the person files an affirmation that he or she is participating in a program that requires access to licensed premises. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
